Released in 2015 under the Naxos label, this collection showcases Schumann's extraordinary compositional prowess and his ability to evoke a wide range of emotions through his music.
"Davidsbündlertänze," Op. 6, is a series of 18 dances that reflect Schumann's inner struggles and triumphs, written during a pivotal period in his life following his engagement to Clara Wieck. Each dance is distinct, yet they flow seamlessly together, creating a cohesive and engaging musical journey.
"Papillons," Op. 2, is a lively and imaginative suite of 12 pieces, inspired by Jean Paul's novel "Flegeljahre." Schumann's playful and inventive approach to composition is evident in this work, which is both technically demanding and musically rewarding.
"Carnaval," Op. 9, is a collection of 20 character pieces, each depicting a different mask or character from a Venetian carnival. Schumann's vivid and evocative writing brings each character to life, making this a truly captivating and engaging work.
Performed by the talented pianist Boris Giltburg, this album is a testament to Schumann's enduring appeal and Giltburg's exceptional skill. With a total duration of approximately 1 hour and 13 minutes, this album is a perfect introduction to Schumann's piano music and a delightful addition to any classical music lover's collection.
